President Gerald Fordâ€™s wife Betty brought her own stamp to the role of First Lady. Outgoing and warm, she became an instant hit with a public wearied of the corruption and personal drama of the Watergate era. But behind the gracious exterior she hid a secret: an addiction to alcohol and prescription drugs. Ultimately, she would own up to those personal demonsâ€¦and triumph over them, setting an example for others.
